Did you pre fill the rad as much as you can first .
When the pipes are back on and you have filled up the header tank pull off the bleed pipe rad end attach a hose of your own and a funnel when the engine is running keep filling the pipe you have pushed on with a funnel attached at the other end when no more water goes in and bubbles stop comming out its ready , these cars have a habit of getting up to temp and beyond before the air has has a chance to escape from the system especially if the original bleed pipe is half blocked .
Plus it's the quickest eat to fill the rad to supply the water pump via the left top hose
